Answer:

A. Water went into the cell because the concentration of water inside the

cell was lower than the concentration

outside the cell.

Explanation:

Osmosis occurs when there is low solute concentration to a higher solute concentration, thus the water outside the cell (having low concentration), would want to go inside the cell where there is a higher concentration. Hope this helps!
